Yes, I have activated "Use fullscreen window"

I have tried to be very careful in reading and following all instructions and have used advanced launcher successfully in the past.

Also to clarify XBMC does not crash at any point.

Thank you ;-)

Thank you for the feedback. This a bug in fact. It will be fixed by version 1.13.1... in few minutes.

Angelscry · 2013-03-08, 03:56

Version 1.13.1 : This new version of Advanced Launcher first fix a script error bug occuring during thumb and fanart image local import for items. This version also allows to increase the applications start delay until 15 secondes. This will allow under Linux to let the time to XBMC to release the audio devices to let external applicayion to use them and play sounds (sometime, I thought that I'm not develloping this add-on for XBMC but against XBMC, anyway...).

Changelog :

Fix thumb/fanart image local import for items.
Allows to increase application start delay to 15s.

Ok... so... what is the problem? XBMC is freezing!? I'm sorry to tell you that but that's a really common problem with XBMC, especially with Frodo.
You can try to explore some tracks to fix this :

To avoid XBMC to freeze you can try to increase the delay time (into Advanced Launcher settings / Advanced Options menu) before starting the application. Try a value of 2 secondes. If it works, try to decrease this value until it freeze again. Then choose the lower delay which not make XBMC freeze.
There is also some XBMC (video/audio)/Advanced Launcher settings that make XBMC freezing : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=85724&page=451.
What is the content of the crash.log that is created into userdata?
Which applications are you tring to start? How? Could you post here to content of your launcher.xml file?

Hi Angelscry Smile

i did mod for crni xperience1080+ mod, a little support for games in advanced launcher,
only the landscape views for now, 3 sizes (poster,square,wide), and game info window.
game info window needs some improvement, extrafanart, trailers ... is in my todo list.

if you guys like the black's xperience1080 skin like me, you should check the crni's awesome mod.
now with advanced launcher support.

here is a preview.

cheers

thanks everyone!

Hello I think I have found a bug. I have my settings set to full screen windowed mode. Everytime I run a bat file through advanced launcher (close xbmc, open dvbviewer) then open xbmc back up with another bat file through dvbviewer (close dvbviewer, open xbmc) I am always in windowed mode. I should also note when running the first bat file to close xbmc it goes into windowed mode before closing. This same setup worked in xbmc eden with no problems. I have also tried true full screen but its still the same. Can anyone shed any light on this? Any help would be appreciated.

There is no bug. If you do not want XBMC to be windowed at all before starting an application :

Set XBMC Video setting to "True Fullscreen"
and into Advanced Launcher, set your launcher's "Toggle XBMC into Windowed Mode" advanced option to OFF.

when I launch explorer.exe via advanced launcher with no argument, it opens win desktop but also window with "Libraries". Is there any way to have win desktop open only? I don't want to open any window just win desktop. I'm trying to start my HTPC straight into XBMC without loading explorer or metro gui but have the option to easy switch to desktop.

Thank you for help
I have just make a try this on my Windows 8 system :
If Explorer.exe is not running and that you start it from Advanced Launcher (as standalone launcher without any argument), the Win desktop is displayed as expected.

If Explorer.exe is already running and that you start it from Advanced Launcher (as standalone launcher without any argument), that the Libraries window which is diplayed.

So, I think that Explorer.exe process is already running on your system when you want to launch it.
How are you starting Explorer.exe exactly (directly explorer.exe, from a .bat script, form a .lnk shortcut)?

hi ... thanks for answer ...

I edited win register for the user which is running XBMC and that user is auto login so when I start my computer it goes straiht into XBMC. All I've done was creating new entry named "shell" pointing on xbmc.exe

Ok, but how do you start explorer.exe from XBMC?

There is no automatic way to proceed. Actually the only way I see is to export the first image of the PDF into images, and use this image as fanart.
